npm install javascript failed-CodePudding

When I run ~$ npm install -g typescript The following message shows:

npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/typescript
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/typescript'

and i tried to check if I have successfully installed typescript, if I run npm ls typescript it shows:

alexz@ /Users/alexz
└── [email protected]

I am confused if I have installed typescript or not, because if I do tsc -v it tells me the tsc command is not found.

How do I fix the above problem? Thanks.

CodePudding user response：

It is a permission issue. Use sudo command, it will ask you your computer password.

sudo npm install -g typescript

CodePudding user response：

dont use sudo to install global packages ! it looks like global npm installed with wrong privlages please check which user the global npm is used by

which npm | xargs ls -ltrh

then change the node_modules dir privalges here

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/typescript'

to the same user with chown command
